From the lecture halls of Stanford law and economics to the rolling mountain-wave lifts of the Sierra Nevada, Mitch Polinsky is a man of two very different worlds. From his Supertramp Flagship LT, he waits each morning. Will he be a professor or a pilot? Only the weather can tell.
Tom Korth combined his fascination with Jeep CJs and an incredibly rare truck camper to create something extraordinary. After years of painstaking work, the result is a remarkably detailed miniature that actually works. Let’s take a closer look at this tiny creation.
We talked with Marcus Niemela of @thekingstarcompany about the company’s unique sliding dry bath and the new fully enclosed wet bath available for 2026.
Kingstar’s sliding dry bath is anything but conventional. It maximizes interior space while keeping the shower and toilet functional, and according to Marcus, it continues to be the favorite among Kingstar customers.
But not everyone wants an unconventional bathroom. Some customers asked for a more traditional closing door, more privacy, and the ability to completely hide the toilet when it’s not in use. Kingstar listened.
Any Kingstar KRUZR can be optioned with a dry or wet bath. Which would you choose?

Meet Mike Darlington and his show-stopping 1978 Chevy Blazer and 1985 @fourwheelcampers pop-up. As cool as this vintage rig is, the truck camper is only the beginning of the story.
This renovation project made quite an impression on a first date, eventually found a new owner, and somehow made its way back to the Darlingtons just in time for their wedding day. A vintage truck camper, a full-circle reunion, and a love story? Now that’s our kind of adventure.
A big thank you to @darlington.adventures for sharing this incredible rig and everything that came with it!
